The University of Wyoming Symphony Orchestra (UWSO), directed by Michael Griffith, opens its 2009-10 season Thursday, Oct. 8, with a performance that includes three works that define romanticism in music.
The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center concert hall. Tickets cost
$10 for adults, $7 for senior citizens and $6 for students. Tickets are available
at the Fine Arts Center and Wyoming Union box offices, on the Internet at www.uwyo.edu/finearts or by calling (307) 766-6666.
The UWSO will be joined by trumpet soloist Scott Meredith, one of the newest members
of the UW music faculty. Meredith, also the principal trumpet for the Wyoming Symphony
in Casper and Opera Fort Collins, teaches applied trumpet, jazz techniques and jazz
history at UW.
Griffith, who has led orchestras throughout the Rocky Mountain region and as far
away as Brazil, is beginning his 21st year UWSO conductor.
